Andrew Smith Woodwoking Web Site:

This showcase web site (utilizing PHP) was created to artfully frame and present the client's woodworking capabilities. View the Andrew Smith Woodworking web site design.

A custom graphical layout was created inj order to harmonize with the primary color palette offered by many of the sample pojects. Additionally, a sister website, www.andrewsmithpipeorgans.com, was planned at the same time and it was decided to adopt a near-mirror approach to the sites' designs. A theme was developed which would accommodate both sites' subject matter while, with subtle differences, effectively brand both sites as related yet individual.

It was intended to keep textual content to a minimum so as to allow the sample images speak for themselves.

Portfolio Pages:

The page layout for the projects were kept simple and clean. Rather than clutter the design with excessive textual captions, such information was incorporated into the "pop-up" larger views. The Slimbox-Lightwindow technique employed for presenting larger image views is not subject to pop-up blockers and, along with the caption text, allows for a measure of search engine friendliness.

Primary Site Design Points:

• Attractively showcase the client's project portfolio.
• Generate a graphical theme to accommodate both Woodworking and Pipe Organ subject matter.
• Provide a site design in keeping with the client's primary competition.
• Provide a solution that is easy to maintain and update.
